There is a worrying increase in the number of pets that go missing in America every year. Only a small percentage of these lost animals manage to make it back to their homes and most face the dangers of living on the street or possible euthanasia in overcrowded pet shelters. As a responsible pet owner, one way of keeping track of your pet at all times is by investing in a GPS Tracker. Using the latest in satellite technology, these devices are proving extremely effective in tracking and locating missing pets.

In the past few months however, the market has been flooded with a number of GPS Tracking devices. Ranging from big budget models with all the bells and whistles attached to the basic options that are easy on the pocket, pet owners are now spoilt for choice. In the same light, there is also greater confusion in picking up the right model for your pet. Faced with a dizzying array of choices, two options easily stand out from the rest. The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator and its budget version – The SpotLITE GPS Pet Locator have both been launched into the market as a result of a partnership between Securus and the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR). Securus has long since been in the fore front of the safety and security market and with the SpotLight products, is the only company to provide real-time pet tracking and recovery around the clock using GPS-enabled technology.

There are several clear advantages that SpotLight and SpotLITE have over their competitors. Most other products offer either only tracking options or only recovery options such as dog tags, tattoos or microchips. With the SpotLight products, you are assured of a dedicated 24/7 recovery service along with a unique AKC CAR ID and a lifetime enrollment in their highly successful recovery service. In addition to this, the device functions as a tracker using GPS technology to find your missing pet. By attaching the device on to your dog’s collar and registering with Securus, you have access to your pet at all times. You will receive real time updates about his location via text or email as well as turn-by-turn directions on how to get to him if he goes missing. Both products allow you to customize certain safe zones or SafeSpots where your dog can roam freely without any alerts. It is only when he leaves these areas that you will be informed so that you can track and locate him as quickly as possible.

The SpotLight GPS Pet Locator has an LED beacon that can be visible from over 100 yards. This is especially useful if your dog gets lost at night. Additionally, the SpotLight also comes with a removable, rechargeable battery. SpotLight also allows you to customize an alert schedule to inform you when the battery needs a recharge.  

Both SpotLight and SpotLITE are compact, sturdy, and water resistant and are amongst the smallest products of this nature available today.  With a raft of such innovative additions, it is no wonder as to why both the SpotLight and SpotLITE clearly score over the other products available in the market today.
